l Application led May 19, 1914. Serial No. 839,588.

To all whom t may concern Be it known that I, ARTURO MUoJo, an

Italian subject, residing at Brooklyn, in the county of Kings, State of New York, have inventedkcertain new and useful Improvements in Ventilating Safety-Windows; and I do hereby declare the following lto be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to ymake and use the same.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in windows.

An object of the invention resides in the `provision of a window wherein the sash may be swung on a vertical pivot so as to be accessible from within a room for cleaning purposes.

A further object of the invention resides in the provision of means for preventing the entrance of water or dust when the sash is in its closed position.

With these and other objects in view such as will appear as my description progresses, my invention residesl in the combination and arrangement of parts as set forth in and falling within the scope of the appended claims.

In the drawing: Figure 1 is a fragmental sectional `view of a portion of my device; Fig. 2 is a fragmental elevational view with the glass frame swung partially open; Fig. 3 yis a fragmental sectional view taken at right angles to Fig. 1; and Fig. 4 is a fragmental sectional view showing the pivot on which the glass frame is mounted.

Referring to the drawing by reference characters wherein like parts are indicated by like characters throughout the several views: In the drawing I have illustrated a portion of a sash 1. ecured to the inner. edges of the top and bottom of this sash are U-shaped members 2 while secured to vthe inner side edges are flanges 3 which are provided with integralplates 4:, the plates 4 being secured to the edges of the sash. The flanges 3 are arranged on opposite sides of the sash and are soldered or otherwise secured to the U-shaped members 2, at 5. weather strip 6, U-shaped in cross section is slidably mounted on each of the members 2 and is normally pressed away from the member by springs which are clearly disclosed in Figs. 1 and 3 ofthe drawing. The and 6 are so arranged that the closed in Fig. 1 4of the drawing and so that the members 6 will be guided in their movement. A bearing member 8 is mounted in the top of the sash and a similar member is mounted in the bottom thereof, the latter being designated by the character 9.

bearing members and is provided with an outwardly extending pintle 11. Interposed between this head and the adjacent member 2 is a washer 12. These pintles 11 extend through the members 6 and have a frame 13 secured thereto, of angular metal strips as shown in Fig. 1 of the drawing. A'second and similar frame 14 is secured to the frame 13 by screws 15 and interposed between these frames 13 and 14 is ar glass 16. The frames 13 and 14 constitute the frame for carrying the window glass and will be hereinafter designated as the glass frame. The glass frame is so arranged between the members 6 that the latter will bear upon the upper and lower edges of the frame 13 and be held resiliently in contact therewith by the springs 7. Water and dust will therefore be excluded from the room. Theflanges 3 are so arranged that they will contact with the side bars of the window glass frame and not only act as stops to properly position the said frame but will also prevent the entrance of water A vconical headvlO is mounted in each ofthese which frame is composed and dust into the room. The recesses in which the bearing members 8 are disposed are covered by suitable plates 1'?. The glass frame may be locked in its closed position by a bolt 18 which is engageable with a notch 19 in the glass frame.

From the foregoing description it will be seen that/I have provided a novel means for preventing the entrance of water or dust into a room when the window is closed. Furthermore, I have provided novel means for mounting the glass frame.

While I have illustrated and described a particular embodiment of my invention, it, has merely been for the and I do not wish to be limited to that particular embodiment as it is` obvious that numerous changes may be made within the scope of the appended claims.

1. In a window, a sash, a glass frame pivoted on the sash, a U-shaped member secured sakeof convenience to the inner edges of the upper and lower tioned members and adapted to bear against he upper and lower edges of the lass frame and resilient means for pressing t e said last mentioned members into contact with the 5 said frame. v

2. 1n a window, a sash, a bearing member mounted in each of the up r and lower cross bars thereof, a conical ead rotatably mounted in each of the bearing members, a

10 pintle extending from each head, a glass frame secured to said pintles and a spring pressed ,weather strip mounted between each of the upper and lower edges of the glass frame and the adjacent edge of the sash, the said weather strips being adapted to slide 15 upon the pintles.

In testimony whereof, I ax my signature, in the presence of two witnesses.
